If your webpages are ranking on top but not driving huge traffic to the website, you need to focus on the optimizing your pages visibility for better CTR.

Here are my 5 cents for you to increase CTR.

A thread 🧵...

#SEO #BloggingTips

1) Display Star Ratings ⭐

If you write review articles, you can use the Google Rich Snippet star rating to make your reviews stand out. These star ratings work to rank the product you are reviewing, and they clearly stand out

2) Display published/updated dates 📅

Google uses Freshness as a ranking factor for artciles. So, does the users looking for latest information.

By displaying post date on SERPs, readers know when the blog post was published/updated, which results in high CTR for recent posts.

3) Create Intent-based Meta description 📃

Google generates the meta description from content using AI. Still you can add your own description, which Google may use to display on the result pages, thus boosting CTR of the page.

4) Use FAQ Schema ❓

If you add FAQs on your articles, Google displays them on SERPs along with page title and description. Finding relevant FAQs related to the topic can encourage users to click and read your articles.

5) Add custom favicon 🌐

Google shows website favicon in SERPs. If you use the default favicon that comes with your theme or your CMS, you should change it to custom favicon, and use this as an opportunity to increase your CTR, and brand yourself.
